Coding & Cocktails: CodeJam

Session Topic: CodeJam

**Please note the extended hours starting at 4 PM**

Join us for our monthly coding series, Coding & Cocktails. Women are invited to attend sessions to get an introduction to website building in a fun, laid-back atmosphere.

In our final session of the year, we set you up in a microenvironment that mimics a software development team in the wild. Working together with a mentor acting as the ‘team lead,’ your team of two or three will work to build a web site from scratch using whatever tools you feel comfortable using. Alternatively, you can also work towards making a contribution to an open source project to boost your code portfolio! Don’t worry about making your own team; we’ll pair you up with other participants as you arrive, or you can let us know if you want to work with another participant you know.

Note: As a special offering since this is our last session of the year, we are extending the hours from 4 PM – 9 PM to give you more time to work.

There will be lots of guidance and support for those with little to no coding experience so come join the fun!

• Attendance at previous sessions is helpful but not required – lean on the available mentors to help if you were unable to join our other sessions, there are no stupid questions!
• Wifi-enabled laptop is required (don’t have one? Borrow one of ours)
• Must be at least 21 to attend
• Cocktails, non-alcoholic beverages, and dinner served
• Please familiarize yourself with Kansas City Women in Technology’s Code of Conduct.
